Democrat Barack Obama is telling union activists he would walk a picket line as president if organized labor helps elect him in 2008.

The Illinois senator also criticized President Bush's policies toward working people.

`We are facing a Washington that has thrown open its doors to the most anti-union, anti-worker forces we've seen in generations," Obama said in remarks prepared for delivery Saturday night. "What we need to make real today is the idea that in this country we value the labor of every American."

No! He criticised Bush?
How courageous of him!
And where's all this "excitment" I keep hearing about?
People say; "He's exciting."
Oh yeah?
I watched him on TV once and he almost put me to sleep.
I had to switch over to the Golf channel to shock myself awake!
Is he going to go into "Preacher Mode" like Al Gore?
And, evidently he has "ideas."
The American People have "ideas" too!
Candidates should be listening to The People's "ideas" and not trying to dictate to us.
Hey, here's an "idea", how's about Our government start enforcing our borders and Immigration laws?
Senators Abadaba and Clinton both voted for Bush's amnesty program.
I think that's going to come back and bite them right on the ass!
How can any candidate who favors giving amnesty to illegal aliens realistically expect to be elected President?
Bush did it *after* he was already in.
Does anyone think that if Bush said he was for amnesty when he was running for office that he'd be President? Either time?
They lost the Independant vote with that vote!
These days you *CANNOT WIN* without the Independant vote.

So he wants to walk a picket line eh?
How about if it lasts for three weeks?
Do you think he could beat up a scab?
Abadaba, here! Grab this baseball bat!"
"Good Boy Abadaba, smash that cocksucker's skull in!"

Or would he just be there for 20-25 minutes for a "photo op" surrounded by bodyguards and the Press?

Unions are not what they used to be. The old unions strangled the companies until they closed. The new unions have no balls, because they know if they shut another plant, they can not collect dues from those people.

LOL, can you imagine Hillary Clinton on a picket line?
"C'mon guys, let's give it the old college try!" "Boola Boola!"
Union Member; "Shut up you f&%#$n C&%T!"
Yeah, lawyers who went to YALE and rank and file Union guys, they have soooooooooooo much in common!

Let's see here, first, Senators Abadaba and Clinton vote "for" Bush's "Amnesty" plan which would drive wages down even further if that's possable for the workingman in this country.
Then, after supporting Bush on this who Senator Abadaba says is "against the working man and woman", he wants to march in a picket line with the very same people he voted to FUCK?
I hope this *stupid* SOB does try it and they have bats with them!
Oh sure, Senator Abadaba's "exciting" all right!
Can a U.S. Senator really be this fucking STUPID?

I'm going to go into a couple of Union Websites and ask them if they want this clown marching in a picket line with them after he voted to fuck them.
I wonder what the Teamsters have to say about this?
If I get any replies I'll post them.
